Paying Subscribers will receive Prioritized News Feed from Google

Google is trying to retain premium users in its platform by sharing the search data to show the publishers who are likely to buy the subscription. The data will help publishers target the potential subscribers which embark’s a potential relationship with the Media Companies in Silicon Valley.

Many Companies like Wall Street Journal, New York Times and the Washington Post are trying to get the readers to pay for their content as it is very hard to support News with advertising revenue. While some companies are arguing that Google and Facebook should publish new tools arguing they should help support journalism.
